Overview
A woman in her sixties embarks on a journey through the Western United States after losing everything in the Great Recession, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad.
Another film by the director that brought us the amazing movie The Rider. The experience of watching this movie was almost exactly like the experience I had watching that movie. About halfway through I thought to myself “this is pretty good” and then over the second half of that movie it really started to seep in. By the end it felt like I had experienced something on a spiritual level. It’s a movie that demands that the viewer watch it in a quiet place with full attention given. I would also like to echo what so many reviews have said – the movie has a documentary feel to it because of the amazing talents of both the director and McDormand.
